2.9 Main switch

The main switch of all CS-devices takes the form of a flip switch.
The main switch of the CL-devices takes the form of a rocker switch, which activates the device when it is
tipped for approx. 1 second in the "ON" direction.
Activation
Devices with rocker switch will be activated by clicking for approx. 1 sec the "ON" position. Devices
with flip switch will be activated by setting the main switch to the "I" position.
Successful "booting" of the device is confirmed by three short beeps.
·
CS-devices: Upon activation, all 6 status LEDs blink twice.
·
CL-devices: There are no LEDs in this device type. Instead the start procedure is seen on the display.
The device is activated
·
CS-devices indicate the activated state by the Power LED shining.
·
CL-devices indicate the activated state by the Display being on.
Deactivation
Devices with rocker switch will be deactivated by clicking for approx. 1 sec the "OFF" position. Devices
with flip switch will be deactivated by setting the main switch to the "O" position.
If the device is running a measurement, it does not deactivate immediately. First, any associated files
are closed on the internal hard drive before the device switches off automatically. This process lasts
for a maximum of about 10 sec. It is not necessary to hold the main switch down for this duration!
·
CS-devices: The deactivation procedure changes the color of the Power LED.
·
CL-devices: The deactivation procedure itself is not indicated. After 10 s, the device is completely
deactivated and the display switches off.
2.9.1 Remote control of the CL main switch
Alternatively to the manual main switch on the device's front panel (only CL devices), it is possible to
switch the device on and off by means of an electrical remote control contact. The terminal designated
"REMOTE" on the device's rear panel makes this available: either brief or longer connection of the signals
"SWITCH" and "ON" activates the device, connecting "SWITCH" with "OFF" switches it off.
